The Complete Poetical Works of Oliver Goldsmith
Contents:
Of the Death of the Right Hon. *
YE Muses, pour the pitying tear
For Pollio snatch’d away;
O! had he liv’d another year!—
’He had not died to-day’.
O! were he born to bless mankind, 5
In virtuous times of yore,
Heroes themselves had fallen behind!—
’Whene’er he went before’.
How sad the groves and plains appear,
And sympathetic sheep; 10
Even pitying hills would drop a tear!—
’If hills could learn to weep’.
His bounty in exalted strain
Each bard might well display;
Since none implor’d relief in vain!— 15
’That went reliev’d away’.
And hark! I hear the tuneful throng
His obsequies forbid,
He still shall live, shall live as long!—
’As ever dead man did’. 20
